+## P9.8 Artifact Authority Reconciliation - 2026-08-15
+
+- Pre-code catalog review found that the activation draft had assigned new
+  effects to existing `AR-001`, `AR-003` and `AR-006` IDs.
+- No product source had changed. The active contract now uses canonical catalog
+  rules `AR-001` Open Ledger, `AR-002` Toolwright's Window and `AR-007` Full
+  Bench, with their explicit Market breadth/upkeep tradeoffs.
+- This is a forward authority correction, not evidence and not a P9.7 change.

-| `AR-006` | Windturn Token / 转风符 | Once per battle, the first resisted action rotates a visible screen one step. | Can rotate away from the Company's preferred family if mistimed. |
+| `AR-001` | Open Ledger / 开放账簿 | Every later Market shows one extra Recruit and one fewer equipment offer. | Sacrifices equipment breadth when the current Company needs a counter item. |
+| `AR-002` | Toolwright's Window / 工匠橱窗 | Every later Market shows one extra equipment item and one fewer Recruit. | Sacrifices replacement and profession breadth for item answers. |
+| `AR-007` | Full Bench / 满席长凳 | Reserve capacity rises, while every undeployed Recruit adds visible Market upkeep. | Strong after losses or for counter swaps, expensive for an already-wide healthy Company. |
